I used to create closed captions for a television program that is mastered as an .mpg file, but lately, the captions have been burned into the video so that they can't be turned off and on. When I investigated, I realized that "Embed in output file" is no longer an option for .mpg exports...only Quicktime. The natural workaround was to export as .mov, and then change the extension to .mpg, but it's not working. The files won't play in VLC.
Notably, I am not creating the caption files in Premiere. Captions are being created elsewhere, and I am importing pc.scc (Premiere compatible) captions into the project, and exporting them with the video. Everything works properly in Premiere, but the exports do not have caption files.
I'm under the gun to get this resolved ASAP, as programs will be airing soon. Can someone please offer me some insight as to why, in the previous version of Premiere, embedded captions worked with .mpg exports, but now they don't? It's not even an option. The only options with .mpg export captions are "none", "create sidecar file", and "burn into video".
How do I export .mpg videos with embedded captions in Premiere Pro?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!
